Well I'm trying this recipe tonight, so I'll probably go with what sounds most appetizing to my seafood-loving parents. How about Crab Fakes? ahaha!

The recipe called for breadcrumbs which Steve didn't have on hand. So he crushed corn flakes instead! I don't remember what the dish was .. but I thought it was a great story and reminder of how it is fun to be creative in the kitchen. But I think there is also a more professional way to make bread crumbs from the whatever bread you have on hand ... I'm sure it's there on google somewhere.

That's a real turn-off for me, a vegan. Just the thought of eating something that taste like crab is a little nauseating, and recalls to mind the eating of a real crab... ugh! I think we have to someday move away from the language of carnivorism and convince people that plant-based foods are appetizing in reality and in name, and not think of it as faux food, like faux crab. If you called them Tofu Cakes, I'd want to try them in an instant... but as Tofu Crab Cakes, my appetite vanishes in an instant. Sorry, but there's years of associations that aren't easily willed away. Why do you want to call them crab cakes? That’s a real turn-off for me, a vegan.
